For this class specifically, I hope to have at least an hour and a half, or more, outside of class each day for projects in this class, for an average of 10-14 expert hours gained per week.

By mid-term, I hope to have at least 100 expert hours gained. My goal is that as I learn more in class, I spend more time practicing each new thing I learn outside of class, thus increasing my expert hours per week. By the end of the semester, I would like to have reached at least 175 expert hours, or better yet even closer (or over) 200.

As of now, considering all of the years that I have spent learning and practicing various graphic design techniques, I probably have nearly 4500 expert hours (going off of my estimations from last semester’s blog post).
